which engine is better for boost???

[haccord992h]

You can always use the F22 block/H23 head engine, great for boosting.

that combo is bascially buying a f22b

but cheaper LOL!!! $250 for my head swap

[dbsharp]

look a f22b and the h23 are the same head and intake manifold. the f22b and f22a are the same block. the stroke is going to have its advantages in boosting and tq, everyone knows that. the h23 is much a stronger block than a f22a/b hence its closed deck. why do you think a few companys have that cylinder brace cuz the the h22(not all)f22a/b are all floating cylinder walls. h23 hands done but if you build the block and get it tuned it all depends

the f22b and h23 heads are not exactly the same.
read this post.

this is the cumbustion chamber on a modified h23 head. I know hemlockz had a thread with pics of the f22a and f22b side by side, but the pics arnt in it anymore, so if anyone knows where there is a pic of the f22b cumbustion chamber, post it.

about 75-85 percent of the people on this forum that say there going to boost end up changing there minds anyway so if your going to boost I'd strongly suggest to just start out w/ the f22a and maybe swap when you get bored of that.

unless you just got a shell

yea ur right about ppl changin their minds...i guess ill just start out with the F22A motor since i already have one...which will be the cheapest route to go...

about how much horsepower does a boosted F22A setup give with only doing 8psi (w/o doing no serious engine internal mods)...???

It all depends on the health of the engine, how you tune it, what type of intercooler / charge pipe you use, turbine, exhaust, manifold.... There are WAY too many variables. You just dont know till its all together. Most DSM setups will push 190 or so, but they still vary.

Figure on roughly 10hp per psi... of course, the size of the turbo makes a difference (especially on WHERE you get that power), and the tuning makes a big difference as well.

So, you'll be making somewhere around H22 power, plus more torque, with 8psi. Not bad. I can vouch for about 175whp... it's fun to drive! With the torque of turbo, and the BOV sound, you should enjoy that for a while! Get good stuff. Don't cheap out on the turbo, wastegate, BOV, and intercooler! And of course, tune it properly... you have the burner, so you're already a step ahead!

yea n i need the ostrich!!!!

[deevergote]

Yeah. It's a really useful tool. MRX used one when he tuned my car. I'm sure it sped the process up quite a bit!

ecotech ftmfw!#!#!#!#!##!#!#!#!#!#!#!

It's Ecotec... Ecotech makes phones and children's toys.

The stroke is the same (95mm) on all three motors though is it not? You're right about the closed deck block being stronger, good point.

speaking of which does MRX live in the Jersey area...?

[deevergote]

No, he's from Jacksonville, Florida. He flew up last year to tune a few engines (I think mine was the only one he really completed, though! Lucky me )
